About
The BioDent microindentor is a bench-top Reference Point Indentation platform. It measures 2.0 local properties of hard tissues and biomaterials. The design was made specifically for measuring bone fracture properties from cyclic testing. No surface preparation is required, it can accommodate irregular surfaces. Measurements can be made both ex vivo and in vivo.
